I also believe that the vast majority of humans are wasting their lives and are barely worth the air they breathe. I believe that belief in God and the supernatural are delusions caused by chance occurrences in brain structure, and that most who claim to believe do so out of fear that their only chance at life is wasted and the fear of what they and others would do if they did not feel accountable to a higher power. I believe that all humans are idiots, so shortsighted as a species that we have no chance to redeem ourselves from the fate we will suffer at our own hands.
I believe that we will kill ourselves off within my lifetime, but that it is unforgivably egotistical to think that we are so great as to be able to destroy anything more than ourselves. I believe that in time, the Earth will return to a healthy state in which a new dominant species will evolve and fail to learn from our mistakes, wiping themselves out as we will.

Interesting... we concur on most points. The only difference is that I don't believe the vast majority of humans are wasting their lives and are worthless... I think that has more to do with political economy than the inherent "worth" of human beings.
